EARLOBE REJUVENATION In OTTAWA

THE LOBE LIFT

Aging affects us in more ways than we realize. Most patients that Dr. Caroline Tosoni sees at her medical cosmetic clinic in Ottawa are aware that the loss of collagen and natural hyaluronic acid results in thinner lips, hollow cheeks and sagging jaw line but few come in to see her realizing that aging affects the earlobes as well or that there is even a treatment available to help them if they do find that their earlobe are sagging.

Earlobes are affected by gravity just like the rest of the body and are now considered in the assessment of a person's true age. Lobes can become elongated over time due to a reduction in collagen and natural hyaluronic acid. You may notice sagging, thinning and even wrinkling of the earlobe.

This can make it difficult to wear certain types of earrings, which can fall downward due to lack of structural support.

Dependent on:

1. Time passed (age)
2. Skin characteristics
3. Type and weight of earrings worn
4. Exposure to sun (often an area where sunscreen is forgotten)

Hyaluronic acid Dermal Fillers such as Juvederm or Restylane can be injected into the earlobe to smooth skin, plump flattened lobes and make the space (hole) smaller providing a more youthful look. There are no incisions and results are seen immediately.

The treatment literally takes minutes to do. It is almost completely painless. And because the ear doesn't move much, this procedure will tend to last up to twice as long as filler in other areas of the face, so about 9-18months.

If you are considering giving your earlobe a lift, we invite you to call for more information or to book an appointment with Dr. Caroline Tosoni at 613-244-5151.
